Het nieuws rond om de zelfmoord van Robin Williams dreunt nog steeds voort, want deze man was niet alleen geliefd als acteur, maar ook bij ons nerd en geeks een zeer gerespecteerde gamer die graag zijn eigen PC's bouwde en op ging in games als Battlefield, Zelda en World of Warcraft. De fans van Robin starten na zijn dood een deze petitie met de vraag of Blizzard hem wilde vereeuwigen in de games als een NPC (Non Playable Character). Zoals je hier onder kan zien is het verzoek aan genomen en zal hij niet alleen in zijn films maar ook in World of Warcraft voortleven.

[Robin Williams] said that he enjoys Warcraft III very much in an interview a few years ago, and was even apart of the MMORPG World of Warcraft. It was reported that Robin used to play on the Mannoroth server, and was something of a troll in trade on good days or when anonymity allowed. Mr. Williams said in interviews that he took his World of Warcraft characters very seriously - in fact he was well known for being an extreme PC builder who preferred to build his own overclocked and super-cooled systems. He often joked about his WoW addiction but also about the reactions he'd get from other gamers when he admits he plays the game. Because of his presence within our community, we the players of World of Warcraft are asking Blizzard to kindly create an NPC within the game that memorializes the actor/comedian. Many have expressed a wish to this character perform some of Williams best jokes within the Worlds End Tavern, so that he may continue making us smile long after his passing.
